The Planning Committee of Harrow Council met on Wednesday 17 April 2024 and granted planning permission for two major applications, while deferring a third for a site visit. The committee also approved the redevelopment of a school site.

395 Kenton Lane, Harrow HA3 8RZ - P/2024/22

The committee granted planning permission, subject to a legal agreement, for the redevelopment of 395 Kenton Lane to provide a four-storey building comprising two ground-floor commercial units, one ground-floor flat, and twelve flats on the upper floors. The decision was made by a majority vote, with Councillors Marilyn Ashton, Christopher Baxter, Samir Sumaria, and Zak Wagman voting to grant, while Councillors Peymana Assad, Simon Brown, and Nitin Parekh abstained. The legal agreement will cover affordable housing reviews, contributions to local employment and training initiatives, carbon offsetting, and parking permit restrictions.
